Taliaferro Charge Pipes

http://www.genuinesaab.com/catalog/p...roducts_id=763

Did a quick search and I couldn't find anything so I hope this isn't a repost. Does anyone currently run these pipes? Has anyone heard anything about them? They are very attractively priced. Does it replace the entire upper/hot side piping or just a portion I couldn't figure it out from the description? How are these in comparison to the Injen upper/hot side charge piping?

it looks as though you have to reuse a bit of the factory rubber piping where it connects to the plastic on the hotside piping. I mean it does get rid of the flat piece of piping on the factory piping but I wouldn;t go for this. Nice find tho man

for someone on a very tight budget it seems like a good idea. anything if better than the factory one lol

^why wouldn't you go for it? i think for the price you pay for, its a good product. i mean, its a pipe, why pay 2-300 dollars when you can get one for 125 dollars.

yeah that theory worked out great for the cheap ass dejon intake too lol

it is not the cold side, it IS the hotside piping. They want you to reuse the rubber pieces on the ends of the factory hotside piping. so lets review why it's bad
bend rubber pieces= restrictive flow=less air flow= not as cooling= not as much horsepower

Yah I suppose it's better to drop the extra $75 and get the Injen upper/hot pipe as it completely replaces that pipe.
